## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this light fixture mountable?**
A: Yes.  Zoo Med makes a pair of mounting brackets.  I could only find it on their website.  LF-T5B – Mounting Brackets for T5HO Fixtures.

**Q: Can this be zip tied to the underside of a screen cover on a terrarium? I would rather the screen not block any of the uvb!**
A: I think it could be zip tied, I used velcro to hang them up in my nedosha plastic cages.  I get about 3.2 to 3.5 at 12" on my uv meter out of a 5.0 t5 HO reptisun bulb.  I also have some of these lights on top of screen reptibreeze cages and get nearly the same readings 3.0 to 3.4 at approximately 12 inches.

**Q: Can this fixture sit on top of screen lid? Instead of being placed inside of the habitat!**
A: So this fixture is actually intended for just that purpose. Doesnt have any premanufactured way to hang it inside or be suspended above a cage so right on the screen top is where it's intended to sit.

**Q: Does it fit ok on top of an Exoterra 18"x18" terrarium?**
A: Yeah but might come broken
